CommentsThe "easy" stories to do with shrinking heroes are exactly the ones you can't do if you want the hero to be respectable. Instead of finding situations where the shrunken hero is at a disadvantage, the writer needs to find where it is an advantage (preferably allowing the hero to solve the problem that could not be done at normal height). This often means sneaking around, but I'm sure a creative writer could find lots of other means. However, most comics writers - even ones with some skill in the craft - are hacks. So it is no surprise none of the shrinking heroes have ever truly been successful. Posted by: Chris | December 13, 2014 5:05 PM Comments are now closed. |
